Jun funori (ジュンふのり) has been so far the best resizing agent I’ve been using for the traditional Japanese ukiyo-e style prints restoration process. Soft and delicate on the paper fibers, pH neutral, it hasn’t shown any sign of alteration in time.
If colors allow to do so, after the bath, jun funori gives back to the paper fibers an excellent softness and flexibility.
I always bought it at stores but you can now find it in many different art and crafts retailers. I’ve always preferred to prepare it myself rather than to buy it “ready to use”, so I can use the proper amount needed regarding of the paper conditions and be sure of the quality of the preparation.

Have you ever tried it?😊🙏

Travailler sur les estampes de KBR et en restaurer certaines d’entre elles dans le cadre de mon mémoire de fin d’études au sein de Istituto per l'Arte e il Restauro Palazzo Spinelli fut un réel plaisir. J’en garde de merveilleux souvenirs!
J’espère que ce jeu connaîtra un grand succès!
